The Special Court of Appeal annuls the decision of the first instance for Safet Gjici, ultimately sentencing him to 4 years and 6 months in prison.
Gjici is punished by a final decision, not for abuse of office, but for passive corruption. The criminal offense was also changed for Alma Kaçi.
She was convicted in the first degree for prostitution while he decided to sentence her to 1 year and 6 months in prison for the charge of active corruption.
Gjici and Kaçi benefit from the shortened trial by deducting 1/3 of the sentence, namely 3 years in prison for Gjici and 1 year for Alma Kaçi.
None of them participated in the process, as the former mayor of Kukës has been in the hospital for about two months.
